DETAILED DESCRIPTION

There are two separate processes for making a T-Cap as follows:

-   -   1) Process “A” by a manufacturer, it means making ready a         Pre-T-Cap as it is described below by the manufacturer of the         pill-box for forming a T-Cap which it will be completed by the         consumer.

FIG. 1 by reference describes a first embodiment of the present invention. The invention will be formed with a press on the stiff material (cardboard/pasteboard/elastic or plastic) usually locates underneath of the cap of the pill-box hereby after I call it Pre-T-Cap.

FIG. 1 the procedure how to form a T-Cap by full-pressed/half-pressed or full-cut has been explained in the summary of the invention and it may form with the same press-machine which makes Pre-T-Cap.

-   -   2) Process “B” by consumer, it means a pill consumer if needed         will open the pill-box cap and its security seal (if any) then         by the nail of her/his finger will push down the Pre-T-Cap and         will fold the 3 little half pressed surfaces towards each other         then the mouth of the T-Cap is ready for holding any half         tablet. Please refer to the following Photos No. 1 to No. 4 with         the brief description for each one.

The following photos have been taken by inventor and they show the process of making a sample of T-Cap by the inventor.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

A copy of the result and its design are attached.

The patent DE 19825901 is totally deferent with this invention by these reasons:

1) The design is totally deferent in comparison please refer to PDF half-Ti Figures attached.

2) It is a separate pill-box other than the original box and there is a risk of medicine mistake.

3) There is a cost of row materials but this invention has no main added materials.
